Finished my Centerforce Put in my DF 12" yesterday and today...The factory clutch came out with a little struggle and when it finally did I found out that the pilot bushing was shredded and the throwout bearing and slave cylinder were complete FUBAR'd...I also drained the fluid and replaced with brand new D3 fluid...The clutch feels absolutely GREAT...It has absolutely NO chatter at all and it engages at a much lower position than the stock POS did...It has a really light feel on the pedal and I think that it's due to me doing the drill mod...I haven't really gotten too hard into it yet because I'm still breaking it in but I recommend it to anyone that wants a very good quality clutch...I'm impressed...

I'm glad to hear it. This is the clutch I am considering purchasing. Either this or the Spec 3+. Make sure to keep us updated on how it works out once you get some miles on her (Or at least after break-in so we know how it handles some "spirited" driving).

Glad to hear everything went well. I will be ordering one tomorrow.
Is the slave cylinder and throwout bearing the same thing? I was just wondering what else I should order.

The throwout bearing is on the slave cylinder...You are going to need a pilot busing too...I ordered ARP bolts for the Pressure plate and flywheel...Do use loctite on them,...Drove it a little more and it feels just as good and even better...
